Top tips for buying Cymbidium goeringii that flower shop owners usually won't tell you

Cymbidium goeringii is a variety of orchid that everyone is very familiar with. Cymbidium goeringii usually produces one flower per stem, and only very few produce two flowers on one stem. Cymbidium goeringii with two flowers on one stem mostly have robust plants with good nutrient supply. So how can you possibly select such a fine Cymbidium goeringii?

When buying orchids, the selection method differs depending on the variety. Besides the appearance of the leaf shape, there is another very important key point to note when selecting Cymbidium goeringii.

The two pictures below are repotting photos of Cymbidium goeringii grown by Hao She Nong Fu himself. Both of these Cymbidium goeringii bloom with two flowers on one stem, and have bloomed double flowers for three consecutive years. Orchid enthusiasts jokingly call them "twin lotuses." Her floral fragrance is also purer and more delicate than ordinary Cymbidium goeringii. So have you noticed what is different about her?

Yes, it is that her pseudobulbs are very plump and large, like garlic heads. From the pictures we can see that the new shoots of the orchid all split out from the pseudobulbs. If the pseudobulbs are not thick and strong enough, then it is conceivable that the new shoots will not be strong either, let alone produce many of them.

Therefore, when buying Cymbidium goeringii, we must look at the pseudobulbs. When the variety and leaf shape are no different, the plumper and stronger the pseudobulbs, the better.

So, what do you think, friends?
